The Territorial Slavery Question.
Ileply of Judge Black, Attorney General
of the United Suites, to the late Popu
lar Sovereignty Manifesto of Senator
Douglas—the “little giant" beaten with
his own weapons.
Every one knows that.Mr. Douglas, the
Senator from Illinois, has written and
printed an elaborate essay, comprising 38
columns of Harper’s Magazine, in which
| lie lias undertaken to point out the “.di-
* t iding line between federal and local au
thority.” Very many persons have glanc
ed over its paragraphs to catch the lead
ing ideas without the loss of time, and
some have probably read it through with
care.
Those who dissent from the doctrines
of this paper owe to its author, if not to
its arguments, a most respectful answer.
Mr. Douglas is not the man to lie treated
with a disdainful silence. Ilis ability is
a fact unquestioned; his public career, in
the face of many disadvantages, has been
uncommonly successful; and he has been
for many years a working, struggling
candidate for the Presidency. He is,
moreover, the Corypheus of his political
sect—the founder of a new school—and
his disciples naturally believe in the in
fallible variety of his works as a part of
their faith.
The style of the article is, in some re
spects, highly commendable. It is en
tirely free from the vulgar clap-trap of the
stump, and has no vain adornment of clas
sical scholarship. But it shows no sign
of the eloquent Senator; it is even without
the logic of the great debater. Many por
tions of it are very obscure ; it seems to
be an unsuccessful eftort at legal precis
ion—like the writing of a judge, who is
trying in vain to give good reasons for a
wrong decision on a question of law which
he has not quite mastered.
With the help of Messrs. Seward and
Lincoln, he has defined accurately enough
the platform of the so-called Republican
party; and he does not attempt to conceal
his conviction that their doctrines are, in

i States, will be fatal, not merely to the

BY E. R. 8ASSEEN, kt.ows this, and he knows, also, that the
(Formerly of the Supper House, Calhoun,) Democratic party is the only power which
LD friends will please take due notice and is, or can be, organized to resist the Re
publican forces or opposes their hostile
march upon the capital. He who divides
and weakens the friends of the country at
such a crisis in her .fortunes, assumes a
very grave responsibility.
Mr. Douglas gfftarates the Democratic
party into three classes, and describes
pressing those differences, which, he says,
disturb and threaten the harmony of tfie
American Democracy. These passages
should, therefore, be most, carefully con
sidered.
The first class is the one to which lie
himself belongs, and to both the others he
is equally opposed. He lias no right to
come between the second and third class.
If the difference which lie speaks of does
exist among his opponents, it is their bu
siness, not liis, to settle it or fight it out.
We shall therefore confine ourselves to
the dispute between Mr. Douglas and his
followers on the one hand, and the rest of
the Democratic party on the other, pre
suming that he will be willing to observe
without due process of law.
private property, and every tnan who has
taken an oath of fidelity to the Constitu
tion is religiously, morally and politically'
bound to regard them as such. Does any
body suppose that a Constitution which
acknowledges the sacredncss of private
property so fully would wantonly destroy
that right, not by any words that are
found in it, but by mere implication from
its general principles ? It might as well
be asserted that the general principles of
the Constitution gave Lane and Montgom
ery a license to steal horses in the valley
of the Osage.
4. The Supreme Court of the United
the principle of non-intervention in all j States has decided the question. After
matters with which he has no concern.
We will invert the order in which he
has discussed the subject, and endeavor
to show—
1. That he has not correctly stated the
doctrine held by his opponents; and,
2. That his own opinions, as given by
himself, arc altogether unsound.
1. lie says that a certain portion of the
Democratic party believe or profess to bi-
licve, that the Constitution establishes
sla eery in the territories, and insist that
it is the duty of the judiciary to maintain
it there without any laic on the subject.
We do not charge linn with any intention
to be unfair, but we assert that he has in
fact done wrong to, probably, to nineteen
twentieths of the party, by attempting to
put them on grounds which they never
chose for themselves.
The Constitution certainly does not es
tablish slavery in the territories, nor any
where else. Nobody in this country ever
thought or said so. But the Constitution
regards as sacred and inviolable all the
rights which a citizen may legally acquire
in a State, and goes with it into a territo
ry, he is not for that reason to be stripped
of it Our simple and plain proposition
is, that the legal owner of a slave or other
chattel may go with it into a Federal ter
ritory without forfeiting liis title.
Who denies the truth of this, and upon
what ground can it be controverted ? The
reasons which support it-are very obvious
and very conclusive; as a jurist and states
man, Mr. Douglas ought to be familiar
with them, and there was a time when he
was supposed to understand them very
well. We will briefly give him a few of
them:
1. It is an axiomatic principle of pub
lic law, that a right of property, a private
relation, condition or status, lawfully ex
isting in one State or country, is not
changed by mere removal of the parties
to another country, unless the law of that
other country be in direct conflict with it
For instance: a marriage legally solemn
ized in France is binding in America;
children born in Germany are legitimate
solemn argument and careful considers
tion, that august tribunal has announced
its opinion to be that a slaveholder, by go
ing into a Federal Territory, does not lose
the title he had to his negro in the State
from which he came. In former times, a
question of constitutional law once deci
ded by the Supreme Court was regarded
as settled by all, except that little band of
ribald infidels, who meet periodically at
Boston to blaspheme the religions and
plot rebellion against the laws of the coun
try. Tlje leaders of the so-called Repub
lican party have lately been trcadingclo.se
on the heels of their abolition brethren :
and willing to give the alarm of approach
ing danger. Could the voice of the civil

clave to-day—it doubtless would be :

of useful information or pleasing repast for

Bible for its Sabbath reading, and the re

the new Territories, until a change was
made in their condition by some enact

not have been taken to and kept in the

1787 or sonic other regulation had not
been made to prohibit it. The Missouri

murder, and the report started—“com

God.” All these and more are done in the
name of the Lord, and by and with the
advice and consent of the heads of the
church. (!!) The Judge of this Judi
cial District (the 1st) informs me that there
are now over one hundred and sixty mur
derers, many of them known and acknowl
edged as such, running at large, and in
full communion with, and protected by
the Mormons—a large proportion of whom
are Bishops and Elders, and other church
dignitaries. This is the district in which
were committed the Mountain Meadows
murder, the Parishes, the Jones and For
bes, and others.
The bones of the murdered of the Moun
tain Meadows, lay bleaching where the
dead fell, until the present May, when
Judge Cradlebaugh with a detachment of
soldiers gathered up and buried the bones
of about one hundred and twenty persons,
all but forty of these were women and
children. Children whose little skulls
were not yet knit together—whose bleach
ed and bleaching ribs are not a finger in
length—were among the killed. A few
skulls were saved and are now in camp,
to be used in Washington City at the
proper time. There is also in camp a
sack full of long female hair, (most melan

bushes and rocks, amid the bleachin]
I cannot find how many wives Brigham
Young has—probably, from forty to one
hundred. The common statute laws ac-
jkknowledge only one wife, the others are
all called spirituals by one of Jos. Smith’s
revelations ; the records of which kind of
wives arc kept in the church archives,
that is, if any record is kept of such mar
riages. Hence the difficulty of obtain
ing correct information, upon this, to the
Mormons, delicate subject. But I sup
pose Young has thirty-nine spirituals in
his harem at Salt Lake City, and one or
more in every town and settlement in tbe
Territory, and perhaps several in the
States, and even in foreign countries.
I know several men who have married
women- years after they were dead and
buried, and in some instances women that
the men had never seen in life. Little-
dead girls of a few months or years old
are often married to old grey headed men
as spirituals. This they do to save tl *
souls of the dead females from purgatory,
and to furnish for them husbands for eter
nity ; alleging that women cannot get
from that place of fancy without men’s as
sistance, and must be married on earth or
go companionless throughout eternity, as
in that world they are neither married
nor given in marriage. Thus Scripture
is perverted to the basest purposes.
They preach vulgarisms in the Taber
nacle ; this I aver from personal knowl
edge. Heber C. Kimble . is famous for
this. I have heard John Tayler take for
his text, “Jump ouLof the frying pan in
to the fire.” I have ♦ heard Oman Hyde
prophesy in the name of Israel’s God.—
Brigham Young, a few Sabbaths since,
said in the Tabernacle, that lie (Young)
was expecting a revelation from God com
manding bis children by one wife to in
termarry with bis children by another
wife, to secure a pure priesthood.
